Winters Coming | When Do You Park 'Er For The Winter?

[DieselBoy]

So, the basic idea of this thread is inform me, and others who are curious as to when you park the machine officially for winter.

I think my riding season is coming to a stall in the end of october. How bout you guys?

*NOTE: For obvious reasons this does not apply to those in places where winter is not bitterly cold & snowy.

Riding season officially begins in October for me. :macho

[troutman561]

Never.. because its FLORIDA!! woo hoo... but I dont understand why some ppl park it even when there is snow, seems like that would be fun, but each to their own!

You should try riding a 3-wheeler on a frozen lake. It's all fun and games when you're doing 360s until you hit one bump. :(

Ya here in California There is beach duning season which is april-october and then there is desert/glamis season which is october-april.

The only time I ever parked my sport quad , was when there was too much snow and I had to spent more time lifting and pulling rather than riding . Other than that , I rode all year .

[trx400exxracer]

NEVER, I live in Middle GA so yeah i ride all year. If it ever snows (very seldom) we are all over it!!!:D

[Ruby Soho]

winter is just as, if not funner than summer

[wheeltrax]

i use mine all year round too, its a blast playing in the snow, as long as you dont get stuck due to the depth of snow. Plus I Ice race.

[400exrider99]

my quad sits more in the summer than in the winter. ride nearly every weekend in the winter unless its below 0 outside

[exrider008]

i love winter riding. i am rebuilding my quad now so when the snow comes i can ride.:devil:

[Caseys 300ex]

I live in Ohio and it gets really cold. But i never stop ridin unless i get stuck every 5 seconds.

[quads14589]

the best riding is in the winter:confused:

[250xridamatt]

The only time I park my quad is during soccer season, which ends in two weeks. Theres an indoor motocross track about 30 minutes from me.

[honda350r]

Riding season peaks this time of year !! Ride all winter ...

[cool 300ex]

I can't wait for this winter to come busting snow drifts with the grizzly and flying through feilds on snowmobiles is what i do. The yfz will be parked for the and it and the z400 will be having winter rebuilds done.

[Cody_300ex]

I ride more during late fall/winter than summer/early fall becasue of football, my quad never gets parked, I ever ride as much as I can even during football season altho my coach dosent approve of it much.

[quadwanter]

i cant wait to ride in the winter...but this is my first quad, so what do you guys do so your frames and crap dont rust?

[coolex]

dont stop, in nh it gets prett cold, and i dont stop, -35 isnt that that bad not including windshield, ill keep riding until the gas freezes in my garburater ( problay never happen idk when gas freezes)

[j_cyrus3]

I ride all year round. Winter riding is the best.

[Crazy Diamond]

Riding is definately awesome in the winter! You can always dress to get warm but you can't dress to cool down in summer! Snow is the best and with experience you could ride better than a 4X4 in deep snow and have more fun than summer!

[Mxjunkie]

When winter comes I still ride..

CARHART'S :p

[firefighterjosh]

I love riding in the winer. I am buying a 4x4 this winter so I might put the 400 away once the snow hits.

[QuadJunkies]

We ride/race all year long. We have raced in 13 degree weather all the way to 107 degree weather :scary:

[Slinky]

we ride all year a long..its fun to tear up the snowmobile trails, and ice racing is a blast!

[smr]

Midsouth Haresrambles season starts this weekend and runs till April.

[Trevor]

Hell no I don't park it!!!!! I love winter riding. The trails are smooth your not hot and you can get out on the lakes and race. Too much snow sucks though and it' better when skidoos get on the trail to pack down the center.

[450r51]

as soon as pappy gets my frame and a-arms done ill be riding again:mad:


:chinese:


we have an indoor track in ohio that we go to, so hopefully ill still be riding, but no snow riding for me, the salt and sand new york state puts down just eats away at out quads.

winter riding isnt all that fun here...we can get enough snow where your quad wont move (unless it a 4x4)...but then again winter riding is better then summer....its called a F7 boys :D :D :D

[Predatorguy88]

I never park mine. I live up in MA where the winter can get a little harsh, but thats the fun of it. I can't wait until my lake freezes over so me and a bunch of the guys can drag down it and stuff. Winter is great...

[infantry317]

In MN we stud up and run the river, a la Huevos 4 (same river). It's a lot of fun. We also set up some flat track ice race tracks last year.

I know thats right I am In Paulding County GA, This will be the first winter I will have owned a 4 wheeler, I am praying for some ice and snow I am going to be outside all day LOng .... ha ha

[gbcap]

i never park my quad. i like riding when its colder outside anyway. don't get nearly as tired and dont sweat like crazy all the time.

snow makes it that much more fun!

[MX450]

I ride in the winter, if it gets colder i put more clothes on, and if it snows, even better:macho

[ny300exrider]

i ride more in one good snow storm than i do in a months worth of time in the summer. when else can you ride down main roads at midnight with a pack of 5 quads and not have any trouble? i cannot wait for the snow, wish i had a sled but its not worth it for around here and i still have plenty of fun on the 450. nothing like riding to the local applebees or tgi fridays, parking in a lot full of other quads and sleds, eating dinner, gearing up, and riding the roads for miles into the morning hours of the night.


i cant wait for snow!

[Ghost-Rider]

You really dont have to worry about rusting but if your riding on any roads or anything salted hose it off after each ride or it will start to corroad or how ever you spell it
